DWI Pretrial Diversion – Protecting a Career, Clearing the Record

Facing a DWI charge can be overwhelming: especially when you’ve got a career you’ve worked hard to build.

That’s exactly where one of our clients found herself: a healthcare professional who was pulled over and arrested for DWI during a routine stop

She knew a criminal record could mean the end of her job and everything she’d worked for.

The Situation

Our team at Blizzard and Zimmerman Attorneys knew this wasn’t just about fighting a DWI - it was about protecting her entire future.

Jacob Blizzard led the charge, working directly with the prosecutor’s office to secure pretrial diversion.

Instead of going through the full force of the legal system, our client agreed to a year of supervised “secret” probation.

The Strategy

This deal worked out by Jacob was a game-changer:
✅ One year of supervised probation.
✅ No permanent record if she stays on track.
✅ Full expunction at the end - like the arrest never even happened.

Why It Mattered

Career-Saving: She keeps her healthcare job and her reputation - no license or certification issues down the road.
Peace of Mind: No court battles, no criminal record hanging over her head, and no more sleepless nights.
Proof of Effort: This wasn’t a free pass - it showed she was serious about taking responsibility and moving forward.
